NO PARKING

West Garage and West Garage Annex have been designated for family and guest parking for Commencement on Friday, June 6, the Parking Office has announced.

People assigned to park in thse areas are asked to use the West Lot on Vassar Street or the CRA lot off Main Street near the Whitehead Institute. The parking gates for the West Lot will be programmed to accept all parkers from the West Area.

There will also be some loss of parking spaces in the Main Lot before and during Commencement exercises. The parking attendant in the Main Lot will assist as needed.

Because of the increased number of cars in and around the campus on Friday, the Parking Office recommends the use of alternate transportation where possible.
